Chocolate cake can be traced back to the mid-17th century when it was discovered that grinding cocoa beans between heavy stones produced Cocoa Powder, which was turned into chocolate.

History has it that later on the method of extracting fat from the Cacao liquor to produce Cacao butter gave rise to the Chocolate cake. Foodies and chocolate enthusiasts commemorate this discovery every January 27.

In harmony with the Nigerian Autumn (Harmattan) and in a bid to deliver excitement in January, Sheraton Abuja Hotel teams are once again offering something delectable as they go beyond for friends and families.

According to the General Manager of the Hotel – Nouman Irshad, “We are happy to start this year with a lineup of creative and compelling food and beverage activities for our patrons.
